new sofa

welp today we went to Costco to get my meds and look at mattresses. instead we came home with a new sofa/futon. it's smaller than the old sofa but much more solid and higher quality. plus it's a bed. i've been sleeping on the sofa for the last week or so and it's helped my back and legs a lot (usually when i sleep in the bed i have trouble standing up in the morning; i'm SUPER stiff and my left foot is in a LOT of pain. when i sleep on the sofa, i do not have this problem). because it's a futon, i can put the back down when i go to sleep, and the arm rests are also adjustable (and can be laid totally flat). it's only a two-seater but who cares? it's just us 99% of the time, and we still have the love seat which came with the sofa and which is in far better nick because we rarely actually use it, so anyone who comes over can sit on that.

we still need to find a new mattress because the old one really needs to be replaced, but it's still usable for now.
